Newly sworn-in Congressman George Santos will begin his first week in office facing a formal ethics complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Monday's FEC complaint also raised the prospect of international meddling in the election. It alleged:"The concealed true source behind $705,000 in contributions to Santos's campaign could be a corporation or foreign national — both of which are categorically barred from contributing to federal candidates."
According to the Campaign Legal Center complaint, some of the listed $199.99 expenses on Santos's campaign finance filings included Uber rides and hotel accommodations:"The Santos campaign reported making a $199.99 disbursement to the W Hotel South Beach of Miami, Florida on October 13, 2021, for 'Hotel Stay,' but the least expensive room available for a midweek stay in October — a one-night, one-room stay for one adult — is priced at more than $700.26.
"Voters deserve the truth. They have a right to know who is spending to influence their vote and their government and they have a right to know how the candidates competing for their vote are spending those funds," said Adav Noti, senior vice president & legal director at Campaign Legal Center.
